2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · MD15 OCC

The vehicle is currently in a state of poor roadworthiness following a significant failure in April 2026. While the car passed its test in February 2026, the most recent inspection at 100,763 miles reveals a rapid and severe decline in maintenance standards. The transition from a clean pass to a multi-point failure involving critical safety components in just two months suggests a lack of pre-test inspections and a failure to address developing mechanical issues before they reached dangerous limits. At 100,763 miles over eleven years, the Juke averages approximately 9,160 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. However, the mileage accumulation between October 2024 and April 2026 shows over 4,000 miles driven in a short window. This recent usage, combined with the failure of multiple components like the track rod end and suspension bushes in the April 2026 test, indicates the vehicle is now entering a period of high component fatigue interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record flags excessive play in the offside front track rod end and an excessively worn suspension arm bush, which directly affect steering precision and tyre wear. The tester identified an ineffective flexi brake hose on the offside front, a serious defect that can lead to hydraulic failure. Furthermore, the recurring pitting and scoring on brake discs across multiple years suggest the vehicle may have been driven in corrosive environments or left stationary for periods between use. The engine health requires attention due to the carbon monoxide emissions failure recorded in April 2026, which points to potential fuel-air mixture issues or a failing catalytic converter. The presence of missing wheel fixings and a tyre reaching the ply cords indicates a high degree of negligence regarding basic vehicle safety. Any corrosion on the shock absorbers also suggests that the structural integrity of the undercarriage is being compromised, necessitating a physical check for deep rust.
